CT Scan Update

I just heard about my CT Scan. First of all, there were NO SPOTS on my CT Scan! Praise the Lord and thank you for praying for me.

The result of the CT Scan was that I have an opacity in the lower right lobe indicating an atypical pnuemonia or some sort of a fungal process. They are referring me to a pulmonologist in Tulsa next week.

I want to thank everyone who has prayed for me and my family and ask that you continue to lift us up through this. Thanks to everyone who has provided meals and mowed our lawn. Your acts of kindness we count as God's love in action.

So good to hear you are doing better. In case you don't remember me, I am Emilea's mom. We hope to be able to attend the launch of the Indian work. Emilea is very interested in what you are doing. Bro. Bill keeps us up-to-date.

I would like to share my experience with a heart valve problem. I was having some palpitations since my childhood, but was considering it as normal. It never came to my mind that anything that is going on is only happening to me. As time passed, the severity of the palpitations and its frequency increased noticeably. At some points, it went to my extremes. I then searched over the internet sharing my experience, and at that point of time, I was surprised to know that this was something that I shouldn’t be ignoring. Then I came across a medical provider company providing eConsultation. I consulted their experts regarding my situation and I was suggested to have my cardio scans done. On my first ECG test, it came to me as a surprise that I was not having a proper heart beat rhythm. It was arrhythmic, and non sinusoidal. I was doubted to be having sinus tachycardia. Then on my further advance diagnosis, like CT scan, MRI, Echo test and stress test, it was found that one of my left valve was deformed, and was not closing completely while beating. But still, it was not to the extent that I require a valve replacement. I then was warned regarding the degradation in accordance with time, so I joined their wellness program where I am in their constant contact with the experts. I have to have all my basic tests monthly, and then quarterly. I am right now having a deformed valve, but still leading a quite healthy life. I just need to take care is to have immediate medications whenever I am facing any heart problem, which I am able to do because of elite health’s e consultation facility. I would like to thank my heart for relentlessly working so hard and faithfully even though having a deformation. This seems to be odd for someone to understand, but one with such a heart can better understand the value of heart.
